Chevrolet Caprice Control Arm
Thus, the Control Arm of Chevrolet Caprice is an intermediary component which connects the car frame to wheels and which allows suspension system to move regarding the road. It is also used to enable vertical movement of the wheel and guarantee the right handling of the car. There are wagon and coupe versions of the Chevrolet Caprice, these cars perform various types of control arms, including stamped steel, cast iron or aluminum and these new models are stronger and lighter than the old ones. In the Chevrolet Caprice, control arms use bushings and ball joint together with frame and wheel assembly to facilitate the operation. Standard control arms used in the suspension system are rigid, however, they are replaceable because of wear and tear or due to an impact force. For those that desire enhanced handling and degree of adjustment, performance oriented control arms can also be obtained. In general, the Control Arm plays a crucial role in the car safety and stable maneuvering of Chevrolet Caprice cars.

Chevrolet Caprice Control Arm Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you raise the front end of a Chevrolet Caprice and remove the upper control arm for inspection and replacement?A: Raise the front end of the vehicle and lower the control arm onto a jack for support, then remove the wheel. Separate the upper control arm ball stud and remove the two nuts securing the control arm shaft to the frame bracket, ensuring to tape together the shims for reinstallation in the same position; note that 1969 and 1970 sedans do not have shims as a strut rod and eccentric pivot bolt are used for caster and camber adjustment. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the upper control arm attaching bolts for clearance, which are splined and can be removed by tapping them gently downwards with a brass drift, prying them upwards with a suitable box wrench, and then using a pry bar and block of wood to extract them from the frame. After removing the upper control arm, inspect the control arm pivot bushings; if they are worn, replacement is best handled by a GM dealer, but if you proceed without a press, use a long bolt and tubular spacers for removal and installation. When installing, loosen the end shaft retainer bolts or nuts, position the new control arm attaching bolts loosely in the frame, and install the control arm cross-shaft on the attaching bolts. Use a normal free-running nut to tighten the serrated bolts onto their seats, then, once the splined bolts are seated, remove the free-running nuts and fit the regular locknuts. Install the shims in their original positions and tighten the nuts to the specified torque, starting with the thinner shim pack nut for better clamping force and torque retention. Install the ball stud through the knuckle, tighten the nut to the specified torque, further tighten to align the cotter pin holes, and fit a new cotter pin. Finally, fit the wheel, lower the vehicle to the floor, and tighten the shaft retainer bolts or nuts to the specified torque.
